Line Work Remains a Dangerous Job


The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics puts electric utility line work among the nation's top 10 most hazardous professions, according to the agency's most recent census using 2014 data. Electric line technicians recorded a 19.2 fatality rate per 100,000 workers, ninth on the list. While the number of lineworker fatalities has declined since 1994, about 3 million nonfatal incidents were reported in 2014. Those employed as loggers, fishermen, aircraft pilots and flight engineers led the rankings, with logging notching a fatality rate well above 100.


Summer Trip? A Few Tips Before You Go...


You can’t wait for summer vacation. But is your house ready?


Before you hit the road for the long July 4 weekend:


• If you’re not leaving any pets in the house, crank up your thermostat to about 85 degrees. Don’t worry about re-cooling your house when you get home; the energy you save while you’re away will exceed the energy it takes to cool the place off when you get home. A caution: Don’t turn the a/c completely off. A home that gets too hot during the summer can invite mold and mildew.


• Close all of the windows, for safety’s sake. And draw the curtains, shades and blinds. They will block sunlight and heat from getting into your rooms and making your empty house hotter.


• Unplug the TV, computers, phone chargers and countertop appliances. Even appliances that are turned off use energy if they’re still plugged in.


• Leave a few lights on for safety, but turn the rest off. And check ceiling fans, alarm clocks, coffee makers and other auto-on devices to make sure they’re out of commission while you’re away from home.
